Help us send a message to the NFL that player testing is vital in the crusade to keep Human Growth Hormone legally and easily accessible with a valid prescription for those who need it most.   The illegal use of this drug by pro-athletes, young athletes, and those looking to halt the aging process is not only wrong, but affects the ability of Growth Hormone Disorder patients to legally and safely obtain treatment.


According to Children's Hospital Boston, Growth Hormone Deficiency (GHD) occurs in 1 in 4,000 to 10,000 children. GHD may be partial (the pituitary gland produces insufficient amounts of growth hormone) or total (the pituitary gland produces no growth hormone) and may occur during infancy or later in childhood. 


Children who suffer from GHD, specifically Hypopituitarism and Panhypopituitarism, must receive regular growth hormone injections not only to grow, but regulate and maintain blood sugar levels other critical functions.

The emails I receive from families fighting for their children keep me going when this process feels like hitting a brick wall. Progress is slow and the silence from the league is exhausting but I am not walking away from this fight.

Seeing this grow is exhausting but it reminds me why I started. I am tired of the uphill battle against these companies but your support keeps me pushing forward.

So tired of pro athletes acting like they are above the rules while children suffer. Start testing now.

Athletes using this for vanity are taking away supply from sick kids who legit need it to live. RIDICULOUS.

The nfl really needs to get their act together and start testing more. Fairness for the kids is way more important than a player getting bigger muscles.

My nephew has GHD and it has been a nightmare getting his meds because of the shortages. Stop the abuse!

My son needs this for his disorder and it is crazy how hard it is to get because jocks want to look big. Fix it.
